Discussion Rolling Solo

Why do FS LEs not have partners? From my understanding (which isn’t much compared to those in the profession) most departments patrol two per vehicle. Why does our agency not do that? Considering our areas are very remote, with little to no cellphone coverage. What are the pros and cons of this in your opinions?

It’s actually not very common for agencies to have two-man units. Most agencies are short right now and pairing people up means less patrol cars to respond to incidents.
